There are good partnerships in place with local schools and other agencies who work with children. This means that children's learning needs are monitored closely. Consequently, all children are confident when they leave the pre-school and are ready for starting school.

Staff use this information effectively to identify each child's starting points and tailor experiences to meet their individual needs.

Staff give high priority to children's safety and welfare. They carefully assess risks to ensure children play in a very safe, secure environment. The effective key-person system provides children with stability and helps them to form positive relationships, gain confidence and self-esteem.
